lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Minister, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome the statements of the Council and Commission, which reveal that the EU’s accession to the Convention on Human Rights and the text of the relevant agreement are headed in a direction which will lead to added value for European citizens, because this is what the report I had prepared on behalf of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs before the opening of the negotiations was requesting, and because several elements of that report are reflected in the agreement. I must specifically thank the Commission for regularly informing the MEPs about the state of the negotiations, and for allowing us to express our opinions and make comments. The criteria of added value and effective assertion of rights must be applied when making any necessary compromises as well. However, I would also advise against fuelling excessively high expectations among European citizens. Accurate information on what this accession will actually be about is crucial, since failure to provide it would similarly undermine trust in EU institutions. While seeking compromises in connection with the accession agreement we should still not forget about the flipside, that is, the reform of the Strasbourg Court which has been emphasised since the beginning, and about its necessity. I trust that the Brighton Conference which was opened yesterday will provide reassuring answers for both sides in respect of any problems arising in connection with this reform. The accession can only be successful if it truly reinforces existing European institutions, as well as Member State judicial systems, and all existing means by which these facilitate the assertion of citizens’ rights, not just in theory but also in everyday practice, and if we consider this agreement as such a means."@en1
